I shuffle, scuff, and stumble into each and every room
but no one seems to notice since they’re all obscurely tuned
to a joke of sorts set way up high in every single home
“There’s a cold front coming from Canada; looks like we’ll be in the teens”
it’s the millionth time I’ve heard this when I start to get what it means:
you’re never getting out of here
and you watch too much T.V.
Are you too involved or are you not involved enough? are you lacking a personality or is your personality the thing that’s filling your head with bad thoughts? are your ideas of friendship misconstrued or are you too delusional to maintain any relationships? can you stop questioning everything you do or is this sentence contradictory? if it all means nothing, then why are you making everything into such a big deal? maybe it feels like everything’s against you because it is. cause you’re stupid. cause you need to just stop thinking and jump off the edge and let life take care of itself so you can start enjoying it and forget that it sucked in the first place. time would speed up and you’d die faster and nothing else would change you’d just be ignorant and blissfully so. yeah ignorance is bliss, but it doesn’t seem so easy to become ignorant. maybe it’s a talent you’re born with. then again everyone’s ignorant to something. but you’ll never know that unless you weigh the odds and figure you’re not as smart as you think, you’ve just secluded yourself and you’re only window to the world is clouded with dumb. but that’s not the point, the point is that there probably isn’t a point but you get too caught up in the search for the point that you miss the point. you can’t get blood from a stone and you can’t get smart from dumb and you’re not smart cause you missed the point again cause you’re too dumb. that was dumb I’m just trying to sound smart but that’s dumb cause what’s the point? this meant nothing and you do, too.
Jeff Buckley, Lover, You Should Have Come Over
(A Voice To Hold In The Dark)It’s never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder,
It’s never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her,
It’s never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter,
It’s never over, she’s the tear that hangs inside my soul forever.
The World’s Quietest Room
Scientists at Minneapolis’ Orfield Labs created their own soundless room, an anechoic chamber. Their studies have found that when putting subjects within the chamber, they begin to hallucinate within 30 minutes.
With an average quiet room having a sound level of 30 decibels, the anechoic chamber’s sound level is -9 decibels. The ceiling, floor, and walls of the chamber absorb sound rather than have it bounce off as normal objects do. The chamber is so quiet that the subjects can even hear their own organs functioning.
Although extremely interesting, the experience is rather unpleasant. Not one subject has spent more than 45 minutes in the chamber alone. Leaving a person to only their thoughts, the chamber could drive them insane.
sometimes i go to mcd’s and eat in the parking lot in my car alone and i start thinking if i choked on a chunk of the big mac i’m inhaling, i would most definitely die alone in the parking lot of mcd’s with a hunk of soggy burger in my throat and then i think even if i don’t die tonight, i’m still eating alone in the parking lot of mcd’s at 3:30 a.m. so which one is really worse? but then i start wondering if i’m subconsciously putting myself in this position and scarfing down my food as a sort of inconspicuous attempt at suicide but before i can reach a conclusion i realize i’ve eaten all my food, so i drive back through the drive-thru and find they’re only serving breakfast but i buy it anyway, so i guess that answers my question.
